Hello. I'm using stable, and have the packages, extra, and patches repositories enabled. I am trying to install Mplayer, but it won't do it, telling me "MPlayer: Depends: dirac >= 1.0.2-i586-2vl70". I checked, and I have dirac 1.0.2-i586-1vl70 installed, which is listed as the latest available version.

MPlayer come per-install in VL7 STD...may i know why you want to reinstall it again? Are you trying to upgrade it?I have MPlayer-20101119-i586-1vl70 installed.

Thanks for your questions. I am not looking to reinstall mplayer. I am not looking to upgrade mplayer. I simply want mplayer to work (currently it is not). I have mplayer version 20101119-i586-1vl70 installed from a fresh install of VL-70 (following an update with stable sources). When I try to run it, I get the following feedback:

I still can't install the latest mplayer. I currently have mplayer 1.1-i586-1vl70 installed, but when I try to upgrade it to 20101119-i586-1vl70 I get the error that I wrote of in the first post (that being that the dependency on dirac is not satisfied). The older mplayer has some problems when running:

mark:$ mplayerMPlayer 1.1-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer TeamThis codecs.conf is too old and incompatible with this MPlayer release! at line 6In checking PACKAGES.TXT for the repository, mplayer 20101119-i586-1vl70 calls for "dirac >= 1.0.2-i586-2vl70" and yet this doesn't exist with the packages.

later edit: the version I have installed is from the untested repository from a helpful post by uelsk8s. It does allow umplayer to work, which is good. [digress]However, other things still aren't working for me (like getting tovid to work) which may or may not have anything to do with mplayer.[/digress]
